Lydia Assis Whore ❤️

About Rio de Janeiro

Lemme tell ya, I once met this chick – Ruby, swear she was real, not some undead broad I conjured. Worked the corner near a busted-up deli in Jersey, 1987. Smelled like stale smokes and regret, but Ruby? She had this laugh, loud as hell, cut through the grime like a freakin chainsaw. Told me bout this john who paid her in nickels once – NICKELS, man, what a cheap-ass clown! She kept em in a jar, said it was her “retirement plan.” Cracked me up, but damn, that grit? Respect.

Man, sometimes I’m so pissed off at the pretension of folks that I walk the streets with a crooked grin, babbling like “I choose violence,” but in humor, ya know? And yeah, there's so many chances to be happy too. Every crumbled corner of the alleyways tells a story that’s as real as blood.
